East Grays Harbor Fire and Rescue

IF THIS IS AN EMERGENCY, CALL 9-1-1

In a move aimed at enhancing fire services and streamlining operations, the City of Elma and Grays Harbor Fire District 5 embarked on an annexation process with East Grays Harbor Fire and Rescue. Through unanimous votes by the Elma City Council and the Fire District 5 commission, this merger brought together the two fire agencies, eliminating the need for multiple contracts and agreements.

Before the annexation, the City of Elma and the Fire District had established several agreements to optimize their fire services. The first agreement involved the provision of Emergency Medical Services to the city. The second agreement was an Interlocal Agreement for Joint occupancy and operation of the Elma Fire station. Lastly, they had an automatic aid agreement, ensuring seamless coordination for all fire and rescue calls. These arrangements aimed to create a safer and more efficient firefighting force to serve the community.

With the annexation process successfully completed, the two fire agencies officially merged on January 1, 2022. This consolidation not only combines the resources and expertise of both entities but also eliminates the need for multiple contracts and agreements. By unifying their operations, East Grays Harbor Fire and Rescue can provide an enhanced level of service to the residents of Elma and the surrounding areas.
